sewing for me [simplicity 2255]

Another fun top for myself. This one was certainly more of a challenge. I've never sewn button holes before so this pattern forced me to learn. After a few tries, I figured it out with my machine. The fabric is from JoAnns and is a soft cotton with a little bit of stretch.

I used Simplicity pattern 2255. The directions were nice and clear and I loved learning how to make a button down shirt.

According to the measurements, I cut a size 18. If I make one again (which I probably will in the fall), I would cut a size smaller in the sleeves and top area and then angle it out to an 18 at the hips.
